Well-made tribute to the mecha anime genre

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2013)

There's not much to say, this movie is exactly what it poses for. Ol'timers that grew up watching mecha animes (like me) will love it. Kids are just kids and will adore the fabulous action sequences. Btw if you did not know what 'mecha' is,you probably won't enjoy it as much. Lots and lots of nerdy details that will get your attention-if you are a nerd of course; something that essentially caught mine is that the romantic element in this flick is completely non-formulaic for Hollywood but just makes perfect sense for animes. Technically speaking: acting/directing=quite good, sfx/music=up to industry standards, CGI=very good, plot/story=entertainingly silly. There is a 15-30-min period in the middle of the film that drags a bit, but that's OK. Enjoy!
